I thought this was a British spellchecker, why am I given options like hepatized and sulfonamides?

At Medincle we are passionate about accurate spelling. As it turns out, there is some disconnect between the spelling used by most people in the UK and what is considered by some as more 'technically' correct British spelling.

Oxford spelling is used as the standard for many organisations (or is that organizations?) in the UK, including the London-based journal Nature. It strives to be 'etymology conscious' and uses 'z' rather than 's' in most words ending with 'ize'. In a similar manner, the Royal Society of Chemistry has officially decided to use the 'sulf' rather than 'sulph' form of sulfur.

You'll notice when using our spellchecker that we've kept both options where appropriate to let you choose the one that you prefer.
